| Amazing tornado story... This story is in a book I'm currently reading, and I've also seen it somewhere online. It has always struck me as amazing, and a little funny. What must have been going through that Yorkie's head! Dog Miracles: Inspirational and Heroic True Stories by Brad Steiger and Sherry Hansen Steiger (2001)— When a tornado touched down in Saginaw, Texas, on September 13, 1993, it carried off shingles, siding, the usual assortment of debris—and one four-pound Yorkshire terrier. Deputy Sheriff Sandra Davis of the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Department received a call that the twister had struck her house, so she contacted her husband James, an assistant manager at a local manufacturing plant, and the two of them rushed home to check things out. They were disheartened to find that their house had been severely damaged, but they were thankful that their eight-year-old daughter had been safe at school. Then they noticed that Sadie, their little Yorkie, was missing. Hearing their shouts and calls, a neighbor, Mary Powers, sadly informed them that she had seen the twister pick Sadie up and carry her away, tumbling her little body about as if it were being bounced inside a clothes dryer. Although their home had sustained $60,000 in damage, the Davises’ first concern was for their beloved Sadie. Frantically, they searched the countryside, praying that the tornado might have set the little terrier down safely somewhere in the area. A miracle was granted the very next day. Someone who lived more than two miles away called the Davises to say that the terrier that he had found after the storm was wearing tags that identified her as their pet. Within minutes, Deputy Davis and her husband drove the two miles that separated them from Sadie, and they reclaimed their very windblown, but very happy and unharmed, Yorkshire terrier. |
